Giles Foden presents a review on two Heinemann publications, both featuring African poetry. Of the first, Godhorse, the first poetry collection by Kojo Laing, he writes "The wit is characteristic, but every poem is different, perhaps the only common thread being the championing of sensory experience, especially in connection with religion. Laing handles surrealism well, and is capable of excellent passages." Of The Fate of Vultures, Foden suggests that the anthology reflects the great depth of talent and vigour in modern African poetry. Foden quotes Seamus Heaney when he suggests that the poems in the collection 'have the potency of human testimony' and so are difficult to criticize.
